Zaev: Government changes in early June


Changes in leadership positions in ministries and state institutions will be known in the beginning of June, followed by interventions in municipalities by the end of the month, said North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.

Zaev said several ministers, deputy ministers and directors will be replaced.

“I already have the concept in my head. The main criteria will be arrogance, failure to meet citizens’ expectations, sluggish actions by officials, nepotism, remarks by the anti-corruption commission, all aspects will be taken into consideration. I believe we will take the proper solutions that will speed up the tempo in the country, because citizens expect concrete results after the big political decisions and the completion of the presidential elections,” Zaev told reporters.

He said a meeting with DUI leader Ali Ahmeti and other coalition partners regarding the Government reshuffle is to be scheduled in the coming days.

Zaev noted they are all responsible before the citizens.

“Citizens are the ones who grade us. I have no obstacles or prejudices. It is my responsibility as the PM to perceive the citizens’ remarks and make the proper corrections,” added Zaev.
